Course content

This course is an introduction to current experimental
techniques to study magnetism in materials: magnetisation and
susceptibility, Mössbauer spectroscopy, NMR, muon spin resonance,
and neutron scattering. The physical basis of the techniques and
typical data and examples are presented. The course contains one
project, based upon laboratory work or analysis of data taken
elsewhere.

Learning outcome

Skills
The student should be able to

Describe the principles in a series of magnetic measurement
techniques including magnetization, susceptibility, Mossbauer
spectroscopy, NMR, muon spin ressonance, and neutron
scattering

Knowledge
The course gives an introduction to selected experimental
techniques for studying magnetic materials, currently used by
research groups in the Copenhagen area. The course will comprise
the topics:

Competences
This course will provide the students with a background for further
experimental studies within this research field, e.g. further
courses, or a M.Sc. project.
In addition, the student will learn how to connect theoretical
models and experimental methods.

Recommended prerequisites

Knowledge of Solid State Physics. It is an advantage to have
followed the course Condensed Matter Physics 2 (CMP2).
